“Jason Blake is really a master of his craft.”
Biography
Jason Blake plays the Warr Guitar, a unique twelve-string instrument incorporating the range of a guitar and bass. It is played by tapping the strings, a technique known as touchstyle guitar. In this setting, Jason typically uses his semi-hollow acoustic version of the instrument.
For his solo acoustic work, Jason has composed an assortment of songs aimed to captivate the audience while being the perfect soundtrack to any event or space. Coupled with instrumental versions of covers, his set has earned him regular appearances at different venues around the Midwest.
Radiant Dusk and its accompanying EP, Seemingly Quixotic, showcase this more intimate style of touch guitar. Jason has recently composed an all new set of material and is currently recording with plans to release new solo music in 2025.
